It is a good practice to specify a saparate Directory for ARCHIVE files.That can be done in INIT.ORA

And then it is easy to list all the files and delete the files. It is suggested to have 15 days ARCHIVE files. So you can take a backup before deleting them.

What kind of backup program are you running?

I'm using Veritas Backup Exec and there is an option to run a file grooming job. It allows you to back up and delete files which are n-days old.

If you are interested, please let me know.
